Michael Steele: Tell Me One Serious Hearing Jim Jordan Has Held Since Becoming House Judiciary Chair

EXCERPT:

STEELE: "There’s not a serious member among them. They’re not looking to counter-propose to President Biden’s infrastructure or inflation legislation. You know, Republicans, rightly, got all bored with that and moved on. But when it comes to the politics of drama and the politics of reality TV, that’s the space that a Jim Jordan is good in. That’s the space. Tell me one serious hearing this man has held since he’s been chair or ranking member. I mean, so the reality of it is, this is the block-and-tackle portion of our program. Fani Willis has done what she should do. Jim Jordan knows damn well he has no jurisdiction here, but, you know, most Americans don’t know that, so he throws up paper and goes, 'Oh, you know, you have to tell me everything you’re doing and I've got to make sure you're not...' — you know, and people go, 'Oh, this is serious.' Well, no, it isn't, folks. This is not serious. This is obstruction. He know he has no interest in this case. It doesn’t involve his committee. There is no oversight here. Show me in the rules of the House where it says that the chairman of the Judiciary Committee has a direct interest in the prosecution of a local state felony case. They don’t have it. So let’s, again, pull the lens back, bring the noise down, and understand what's playing out here. This is all about the Donald Trump protection racket that the GOP has stuck themselves in and now don’t want to get out of.
